Bulk Image Resizing?

[Domo]

I have 650 images taken at a massive resolution (2000 x 3008) which need to go onto an intranet site. (I didn't take them by the way - not sure if the photographer was made aware they were intended for the web!).
Is there an application I can use to resize the images? Freeware would be nice but I will use a retail app if need be.

Thanks

I've always used Unidream powerbatch...never had any problems with it! Think it's still free

Its certainly not freeware, but you can do it with photoshop, by setting up a batch action.

I use Thumbs Plus for it. It does a very nice, clean job and also has excellent compression.

I used something called PIXresizer last time i think. Freeware. Did the job.

Hi there,

I've just installed Photoshop CS. Tried File > Automate > Batch but there's nothing to suggest I can resize the images. Can you help me out - thanks!

Open the action window and create a new action, record the resizing(works like macro recording) Then in the batch window, set the new action in the action drop down menu.

If it's the same as PS7, you'll need to create an action first. You will then be able to select this action from the batch drop down.

Personally I would go with one of the automatic batch programmes mentioned above, it is quicker and easier.

If you have PHP available you can throw them all in a directory and setup a Simplegal install, which will create medium & small thumbnails

You can use Picasa2 from Google. It's free and outputs pretty good image quality. You can set the number of pixels and the .jpg quality. It also saves by default the existing picture so you'll have to delete those manually when you're done if you want to destroy the source files.

Seconded, used it on a clients machine today and didn't confuse him one bit. Honest...
